Qu Wen's girlfriend, who had rushed over upon receiving the message, heard this explosive gossip. For some reason, the resentment she had been holding in for days—watching her boyfriend act intimately with another girl while claiming she was his one true love—finally dissipated.
Compared to this, her grievances seemed trivial. Xiong Beijing even felt like applauding Qu Wen.
Spotting Xiong Beijing in the distance, Qu Wen, his face pale, saw her as his savior. He rushed toward her with deep affection, intending to embrace her and confess his remorse.
But to Xiong Beijing, Qu Wen was no different from a virus now. She sidestepped, and Qu Wen fell flat on his face, getting up with grass and dirt in his mouth.
[Hahahahahaha.]
Lin Tingyue didn't hesitate to start mocking him. The Lin family also wanted to laugh, but Lin Tingyue's laughter was so impactful that someone who had just stepped onto the grass was stunned into stopping. He looked up in confusion, unsure what was happening.
Qu Wen spat out the grass from his mouth and said sincerely, "Beijing, you believe now that I truly like you, right?"
[?]
[What nonsense is this guy spouting?]
[What decent person kisses their 'sister'? This is cheating and betrayal, and you're a pervert too.]
[Ugh, no wonder Qu Wen would say that—it's hereditary. Can this kind of thing even be inherited?]
[Qu Wen's father once fell in love with Yi Tianxin's mother, but at that time, the Qu family's company faced a major crisis. Qu Wen's father had to marry Qu Wen's mother through an arranged marriage to save the Qu family from collapse.]
[Did you think Qu Wen's father gave up on Yi Tianxin's mother because of that? No, he promised Yi Tianxin's mother that he was only with that woman for money and that she was the only one he truly loved.]
[So, Qu Wen's father got money from Qu Wen's mother and love from Yi Tianxin's mother, climbing to the peak of his life.]
[Tsk tsk tsk, Yi Tianxin's mother probably still dreams that Qu Wen's father will marry her someday. How can anyone easily trust a man's promises? Now, Qu Wen's father thinks Yi Tianxin's mother is petty, unsophisticated, and an unattractive hag, and he's already looking for a new partner.]
Yi Tianxin staggered dazedly and finally collapsed onto the grass. Since she could remember, she had never met her father. She thought he was dead, but her mother firmly insisted he was alive.
So he had run away, abandoning her and her mother.
But she never imagined the truth was a hundred times uglier than what she had envisioned.
[Huh, what's wrong with her? Young people these days are something else—just lying down on the grass whenever they feel like it.]
Lin Tingyue brushed off her Bachelor's robe and was about to pull her second brother away to take photos elsewhere when she suddenly heard the sound of slapping from ahead—crisp and loud, like the fighter jet of slaps.
Lin Tingyue stood on her tiptoes to look over.
[Why are Qu Wen's parents here?]
Lin Tingyue thought about it. She and Qu Wen were in the same grade, and today was the graduation ceremony. Bai Yaxin and Lin Rusong had both come, so it was normal for Qu Wen's parents to be here too.
【Why did Qu Wen's mother slap Qu Wen's father? Did she discover something?】
【Ah, it's a pity that no matter how clever Qu Wen's mother is, she would never have guessed that Qu Wen's father actually had his eyes on her best friend.】
What! Qu Wen's mother was absolutely furious. No wonder her best friend had been hinting at her both openly and covertly since last week.
At the time, she only thought that her best friend had always been at odds with Old Qu, so she didn't take it seriously.
Thinking this, Qu Wen's mother slapped Qu Wen's father again.
A man, and a successful one at that, being slapped twice in a row—Qu Wen's father's eyes blazed with anger. He said, "Cai Wanli, don't go too far."
"When you used my money to support another woman outside, why didn't you say it was going too far?"
How did she know?
Qu Kuo hurriedly said, "Wanli, let me explain…"
Cai Wanli, who had been about to leave with her bag, turned back to look at Qu Kuo. Qu Kuo's heart leaped with hope, and he reached out to grab Cai Wanli's hand, but she disgustedly brushed him off. She said, "When you married me, you made it perfectly clear to my parents. They were afraid you'd change your heart and made you sign an agreement—if you ever betrayed me, you wouldn't get a single cent. Just wait to be left with nothing!"
Qu Kuo's legs went weak, and he knelt down. Qu Wen rushed over, grabbing his collar and demanding, "Dad, did you really betray Mom? Dad, say something!"
Unaware passersby thought it was some kind of performance art happening on the lawn and even came up to ask if they could take a photo.
Qu Wen told them to get lost.
【Hahahahahahahaha.】
【Such a famous spot for father-son bonding, and we can't even take a photo?】
After finishing her gossip session, Lin Tingyue tugged on Lin Shengyan's arm. "Second Brother, let's go somewhere else."
The lawn was indeed too chaotic and not really suitable for photos anymore. Lin Shengyan nodded, then suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure.
"Wait for me, I see my friend."
Lin Tingyue: "?"
【Second Brother, having a friend on this lawn doesn't seem like a good thing.】
Lin Shengyan stumbled and was steadied by Ying An, who asked worriedly, "Shengyan, are you okay?"
But Lin Shengyan looked at Ying An with a grave expression. Could this guy have some gossip?
Ying An was Lin Shengyan's university classmate. After graduation, they both entered the entertainment industry and were hailed as the Twin Stars of the entertainment world.
Lin Shengyan knew Ying An well—he came from a harmonious family, his parents often traveled the world, and besides Ying An, there was a younger daughter who was the apple of the family's eye. Ying An himself was gentle and polite.
How could such a flawless person have any gossip? Lin Shengyan scolded himself for overthinking.
But—
【Why does this person look so familiar to me?】
Oh no, there really is gossip.
Lin Shengyan immediately distanced himself from Ying An, so he could pretend not to know him if his family asked later.
Ying An frowned and asked, "Shengyan, what do you mean by this?"
Lin Shengyan was even more frantic than him. "Why couldn't you have kept yourself clean?!!"
Now it's a full-blown gossip field.
Lin Shengyan wallowed in sorrow alone, leaving Ying An utterly confused.
Lin Tingyue was getting closer and closer to Ying An. It's over, it's over, Lin Shengyan thought anxiously. Ying An, you're about to have your gossip exposed!
["Ah, isn't this the really handsome guy from the film studio, the one who even… has pink…?"]
Lin Shengyan: "?"
Isn't that you, Lin Tingyue?
Ying An was wearing a gray short-sleeved shirt today. Hearing Lin Tingyue's words, he silently pulled at his collar, his ears turning bright red.
